Two New Draw Benches
Переглядів 503Місяць тому
Miles and the squad shuffle around some machines and move 2 new draw benches into the shop, one being from C.G. Conn originally and the other being massive. Miles also talks a bit about the direction he wants to do with the shop organization into the future.

Top demais 😊
Guys it’s a silicon powder. Can buy where concrete materials are sold. Just bought it. Wanna also try such cools bends
@@ittio_ru not true. There are 6 components to our bending matrix and silicon powder is not one of them
Or just beans 🫘 as you showed earlier ))
Sooooo coool
Hey just saw one of your trombones at a shop in LA. But it appeared to not have a slide lock… 🤔 Cool hand engraved logo. Great videos. Keep up the great work guys!
Ciao Miles mi puoi dire che materiale usi per piegare i tubi grazie...
Ciao Miles mi potresti dire che materiale usi per piegare i tubi grazie mille
Do you mainly make parts or instruments as well?
@@maynorquiroa1463 we mostly make components but do make full instruments as well. Currently we are building a batch of orchestral trombones
Nice Safety3rd
Loving all the content lately!
Anyone else thinking why the chicken crossed the road?
Can tell by this dudes muffintop he's lazy and useless 😴
Sloppy human
Fired usless
Give that mate a coffee 😂
Did i tell you about this chicken my friend kieth tried frying one time?
Yeah just skip the first step, and tell the rest of the class lol
@@MeltedCheeseecomeon don't leave us hanging
Clutter is the enemy. Never surrender!
💪 Awesome
this music is so fitting
Good stuff! Instrument making is so interesting...
I am really enjoying watching your business grow. Nice new sign, but pleased you have kept the Beverly Shear sign up as a homage to your building's heritage. Don't be afraid to throw out stuff you are not using...even if you find yourself needing it a week later. If you don't stay ahead of the clutter, it will bury you. Organization is important in as much as if you can't find what you are looking for, you might as well not have it. I was talking to Matt Krug last weekend and we both commented on how it has been great to watch your business develop on UA-cam. Keep up the good work and good luck!
I am so excited
is it one of a custom bending option ? lol
Great background audio! (who is that?)
Glad to see my janky code still works!
Good content 👍
Gosh, i should get back to work
Other people arent so good at struggling 💀
It's O'Malley The Brasstard again, operating CNC machines made before G code was invented!
Yes, they can bend. They will also burn.
What exactly do you do (brass instrument manufacturing or general fabrication)? I don't know why the algorithm is showing me your video, but as a hydraulics mechanic, I've bent a bit of tubing, using a variety of hand tools, up to floor-mounted fancy mandrel benders with computerized measuring devices. Aviation standards are very rigid, allowing for very little damage on the outside of the radius, and no kinking on the inside. It was cool to see your techniques (and printed die!) to produce extremely clean bends on thin-walled, but fairly large-diameter tube. 👍
We repair and manufacture brass instruments. We specialize in recreating obsolete parts.
I would recommend that you wear gloves handling lead and aluminum is a problem with absorption.
Where in this video did I touch lead or aluminum?
It's lead that rhymes with reed, not lead that rhymes with red. Lol I thought he was bending lead pipes myself. I was wondering why they looked like brass. Stupid English language. It's for musical instruments I believe.
I see now, yes the pipe the mouthpiece goes into is commonly called the Leadpipe. Ironically Germans traditionally bend brass tubes with lead.
@@milesomalley5605 That makes more sense. Euphonium had a reference for Brass Finishing Euphonium Gold Lacquer Phosphor Copper Leadpipe Cupronickel so odd the names over the years. :)
Interesting that "conductor pipes" and "Pb pipes" are spelled the same. When I saw the thumbnail I was wondering why in 2024 anyone would be using Pb pipe? Still don't know why UA-cam showed me this
Great job, these bends are beautiful! Do you also make double french horns?
We don’t currently but will in the future.
It’s about time! 😂😂😂
I sent an email last week following up on my vintage 88-H slide, which was sent to you by my repairman; Wes Lee of Wes Lee Music in Petal,MS. It came to you for new outer tubes. Is there any update? Thank you, Parker
Is the salmon machine lathe a Hardinge chucker? Is it true that inside every 600# 8" steel bar, there's a bell form waiting to break out? Your videos seem fun to make, they sure are fun to watch! Thx
It’s a TFB-H. Essentially an HLV without a threading gearbox
Very informative and helpful video, almost overshadowed by the insufferable attitude.
In the Alexander video, they also show a hollow bending machine, what's your take on that?
Now that I think about it, they press the hollow-bent tubes in a die with steel balls, so it's not straightforward either
Oh you said that's terrible 😅😅😅
May I ask what is the problem of the bending machine?
@@ivantongtrombone I would like to know too, the balls and die afterwards should create a correct tube every time, no?
Jacob Medlin also has a similar opinion on bending tubes, with the ripples and the endless hammering seen as an old school, undesirable technique. However, Sarah Willis has commented that once the Alexander guys brought some horns for testing without saying anything, and Sarah and get colleagues found that some horns were much "better" than others, and it turns out those were the hand hammered ones. What's your take on that? Maybe the hand hammered ones have more variability and just selected the best ones for the Berlin Phil to test. You can still order them from Alexander, it's just a mere additional 1000EUR on top 😅
The difference between a bell that's bent with lead and hammered/filed, and a bell bent with ice then hydroformed (which is how modern Alex bends) is immense. Comparing the playability of the two isn't fair. parts bent with lead will be hugely variable. You may find the holy grail amongst an army of duds. If you bend a bell not like an animal, every horn may be the holy grail.
@@milesomalley5605 thank you for the comment. I understand it now why Alex had so much variability in the past, and probably what they do is hand pick the best ones for certain people.
@@milesomalley5605 I really enjoy your videos, thank you!
Just doing some research on Harrelson video of CNC 2 half of the tuning slide and solder. I am very curious about those new methods and industrial techniques. Hope @milesomalley5605 have some answers here!
beautiful!
Are you customizing trumpet hammered bell too..i want to order
Its really amazing how such a butt-ugly chunk of metal in the beginning eventually turns into a perfectly proportioned, gleaming part of a fine instrument!
Hi, I was wondering what material you use for drawing and its thickness? Is it better than lead?
Miles do you perhaps know who made standard reculation foreign 1287 and 1187 bugle
Can you make key of g bugle 5 inch bell and engraved it standard reculation foreign 1287
the cylinder glands and seals are easy to replace if you know how to make a trombone you can do it
The cylinder is pretty pitted, I think if we just changed seals it would start leaking pretty quick. I’m looking for a local shop that can make me a new ram and seal assembly
SWEET!!!!!! Keep up the great work!
This includes some fairly major announcements/insights: 1) The future Bach 229 C trumpets will not have Bach 229 bells, but rather a new design (shouldn't that get a new #??). 2) For the first time in over 100 years, Bch design is no longer done at Bach. 3) You are setting-up to use a cookbook and bake bells instead of torch annealing 4) You are making Holton leadpipes - as there were many different ones, which ??? (Any chance you might start making those stop rod screws and nuts for the assorted generations of Holton trumpets/cornets that are always missing?)
The 229 we designed is based on original New York examples. The 229 has strayed from its original intent. We have been using a combination of torch and oven annealing through my entire career. No process changes there.
+1 to remaking Holton bits. Other parts that would be great to have done right are Committee 3rd slide rings (nobody makes a proper one), and the hollow pre-war style Olds 1st slide saddles and 3rd slide rings.
@@milesomalley5605 Pretty amazing that you were able to find examples. I think there were less than 3 dozen 229s built, or retrofits, prior to the Mt. Vernon move. Mager's Feb 3 1947 appears to be the first actually built with that bell, but then there are at least as many, if not more, retrofits of earlier horns in the 48-51 period than new builds 48-53. Roy Hempley always lamented the difficulties in finding unaltered examples - would love to hear more on the pedigree.
This is so incredible. Forwarding the art of horn manufacturing and documenting it while it happens. Very inspiring, keep this up.
